No DVEL AFTER ALL.
Two Atlanta Citizens Choose Sc
conds but To Not Fight.

An Atlanta (Ga. telegram says For
several days there has been great Gu
Iiosity here over the probable outcome
Of an affair of honor between the Hon
Charles A. Collier, mayor pro tenn. OF
Atlanta, ard Colonel Clark Howell,
lately United States post-ofice inspec
tor. In the late election of city Off
GERS by the general council Mr.. Park
Woodward. Hovell's brother-in-llw,
was candidate for the clerk
ship. and claimed that Collier had
promised to vote for him. When
the time for voting cane, however,
Collier voted for Goldsmith, and it then
developed that Golfers brother was to
be Goldsmith's principal deputy. This
enraged Colonel Howell, who, meeting
MIR. Collier in the Constitution build
ing, denounced him as a traitor, and
applied other epithets to him.
Collier took no notice Of the matter
until it was published, when he denied
having heard the offensive words To
relieve his doubt about tho matter
Howell declared in print that he had
used them, and this brought up the
issue.
On Thursday last Alderman Collier
sent q note to Howell, stating that as
he (HowelD had adopted the language
reported, and as such language was
offensive to him, he requested Howell
to rotract the same. He further stated
that this note would be handed him by
Boke Smith. who would act for him
until friend returned who was tempo
rarily absent and who had been tele-
eraphed for. This was delivered to
Howell, who at once sent for w. IL.
Rhett, whom he requested to act for
him to the end, to which he agreed.
When Mr.. Howell banded him a note
which he had prepared in reply to Col
lier's, IN which he declined to make any
retraction, Mr.. Rhett decided that it
was not proper to commence this cor
respondence with one who was not au-
thoiizod or did not intend to act TO the
end. He went to Hoke Smith and
stated that he was ready toreply to Col
liers note if he (Smith) would act to
the end. If not, they must present a
man who would. Mr.. Smith asked time
to communicate with Collier, and on
tie next morning be called on Mr..
Rhett and withdrew Golfers note, and
stated that the gentleman telegraphed
for would arrive that night or Saturday
morning.
On Saturday Judge Tompkins, the
gentleman who had been telegraphed
for, presented to Mr.. Rhett the note
previously presented. Mr.. Rhett sug.
gested that the note was too vague and
indefinite, and should be rewritten.
Judge Tompkins seemed to concur in
this opinion and withdrew the note,
stating that he would call on Khett
later, which he did. He then said ne
thought they would withdraw the note
altogether. At 10 o'clock Saturday
night be came back and said the note
was withdrawn indefinitely. Thus the
duel is off, and Mr.. Howell claims to
have the best OF ii.

To the Point.

When the Philadelphia Eoening I6te-
graph takes o notion to give its (the
Republican, party talking to-" it
uses language that is to the point. In
commenting upon the asinlne pro
ceedipg Of TUTrLE 4 Co. in connsc
ton with the first invitation extended
to President CLEVELAND to visit st.
Louis tho Telegraph says:
"There is no doubt about it that 4
considerable number OF Republicans
have, owing to the long continuance OF
their party in power, educated them
selves into the opinion that they and
their party own the Government OF the
country and the perqulsites thereof. 1t
is high time that this notion should DO
set aside as scandalous and unpa-
triotic absurdity.; and not the least Of
the benefits of Democratic interreg-
mum will DO that q number of light
witted patriots in the Republican camp
will be compelled to understand that
they have no prescriptive rights in con-
nection with the conduct of affairs, and
that what they have Of power and per,
auisites they have upon sufierance and
on conditions Of good behavior"
And the country will doubtless see to
il that tho democratic iuteregnum
continues until the last OF the light
witted Republican patriots have beer
brought to their senses.

Greensboro Notes,

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dispa.chl
rEENsBORo', n. c., July 81, 1887.
Mr. j. ID. White, who was appointed
to take the city census, has about fin
ished the task, and reports that the to-
tai number of people in the corporation
will not amount to much over 5000.
This is a grave injustice to the town, as
the figures represent scarcely half the
population OF the town proper. The
corporation only extends half mile
in each direction from the centre.
There are two thousand people in
South Greensboro alone. These
are not included in the census. The
population of the town, properly,
amounts to about 1000, but South
Greensboro" refuses to vote an extern
sion of the corporation to include it on
account of increased taxation.
Mr.. +. Corbett, an expert roller flour
mill builder, who was employed to
come here from Washington and give
estimates and plans for the establish
Inent of roller-mill, was here last
night, and was present at q meeting OF

Hiram Iuyokc, the Law.

Anew Haven special says: The fight
between Hiram Lodge, the Grand Lodge
of the State. and some Of the other
Masonic lodges, is now on a fair way to
n legal battle. When the Masonic
Temple III this city was occupied for
the first time ten years ago by various
Masonic lodges, including Hiram, the
latter paid its share toward furnishing
the apartments and buying the fittings.
Some of tie other lodges are now
moving ont of the old temple, and yes.
to-day it was noised about that some Of
the furniture was being removed. The
Hiram people went to work and got out
an Injunction against the other lodges,
enjoiDg them from removing the furni-
ture. The injunction was signed by
Judge Pickett, and is returnable before
the September term of the Superior
Court.

The Virginia Cases.

The New York Hcraid undertakes to
enligflten its readers as to the decisions
of the Supreme Court OF the United
States in the Virginia coupon cases.
But il failed TO inform itself fully be-
fore writing on the subject. For ex-
ample, il says;
"In the series of Virginia bond cases
decided in April, 1885, the court held
that tho Malone Hiddleberger Gro
adjus,er' Legislation of 1882 and 1884,
by which Virginia refused to honor its
bond coupons, Was q violation OF that
clause of tho Federal Constitution
legations Of its contracts, and that in
spite of such legislation the State was
bound TO receive the coupons in pay
ment of taxes and debts due the Com
monw, alth.
The colrt, on the contrary, held when
the act of January, 1882, first came be-
fore it that that law was ca valid en-
actment," Notwithstanding it provided
that no coupons should DO received for
taxes except such rs had been proved
i'll court to be genuine. And though
there have been many decisions in Vir-
ginia coupon cases since rendered by
that tribunal, it still adheres to its deci-
sion as to the constitutionalty of the act
requiring the commences OF coupons
to he proved in court.
1t is true the Supreme Court has also
decided that tender of genuine cou-
pons entitled a person engaged i'll a
licensed business mot liquor selling to
cary on his business without license
if the States officer refuses to accept
the coupons and refuses also to issue
him license. But these two decisions
are not necessarily conflicting.
1t has been but few days since we
published letter from Petersburg
stating that certain persons had in
court there proved their coupons to be
genuine as required 10y the act of 1882.
All such coupons are received by the
State for "taxes, debts, dues, or de-
mands.
If the XcraH will look at the reports
of the sales Of coupons in this city as
they appear in the Richmond papers
every day, that journal will learn that
Virginia has not yet despaired of jus
tice at the hands OF the courts. These
coupons do not sell for one third of
their face value.
Again There could have been no
"MAHoNE- RIDDLEBERGE8 Readjuster
legislation " in Virginia in 1884, seeing
that tho Democrats elected large ma
jority of the members of the General
Assembly in 1888, and have ever since
had control of that body.
But, finally, we agree with the Her
aid in the following statement
Obviously that was marked in
road into the domain of State sover-
eignty-a signal curtailment of State
sovereignty and enlargement of Fede-
raj sovereignty. And this was done for
the first time two years ago. The i'm
portant principle affirmed by the Su-
preme Court in 1885 was then asserted
for the first time"
And it was also so clearly violation
of the eleventh amendment that we
cannot understand how the Justices
could ever have rendered it.

Let us say, first, that looking at the
Likeness of DIR. JONES. we could not but
be struck by the appropriateness OF
certain words he uses in connection
with his sign. manual-namely, "Yours
10 count on" That is JNo. WM. JOINS.
You may rely upon it that his book is
withou. sectarian or partisan bias.
The Retigiols UcraH says that
Bishop GEANBERy's introduction is
"admirable." Also, that ono book
has appeared from a southern author
since the war which is more likely to be
read by all classes of oar people. 1t

il Mrs. j. X. Rithelsea, the wife OF a

small rifles. While Mrs. Kithelsea
and one OF her little children
were in the rear Of the tent
in which her family is spend
ing the summer a boy known OF the

thin pine Enclosure behind her. The
bullet struck her in the neck behind

Of a great State like Virginia, with a
